9. The Cleavon Little Connection
Before he got the role as Lamont, Demond Wilson actually appeared in an episode of All in the Family (as a robber). He played opposite Blazing Saddles’ star Cleavon Little. It was also Little who recommended Red Foxx for the part of the ever-scheming Fred Sanford. Little himself was actually offered a role on the show, but he was forced to pass on the project due to prior commitments.
